I am from the island of Kauai. My tutu grew up <br /> on the Big Island and my family's genealogy on both my mother and father's side <br /> trace back to the island of Hawaii. We are connected to this `aina. <br /> The development of Punalu`u will damage the ecosystem and will have negative <br /> impacts on the local families who have physical, spiritual, and historical ties to <br /> this place. Protect our `aina and protect our people. I speak generally as I am not a <br /> resident of Hawaii island but we do not need more resorts. We do not need more <br /> golf courses. We do not need more units for foreign part-time or full time <br /> residents. We do not need luxury shopping centers. We do not need it. <br /> I hope the Hawai`i county council listens and prioritizes your people over money. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> Sariah Mokuahi <br />
